Weather forecasts, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place based on various relationships such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasting is an activity that has been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, based essentially on the observation of the configuration of the clouds, the wind, the time of the year, although initially these they were inaccurate.
It was only with the advent of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented, which made it possible to make more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transport (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsbeyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or whatever outfit become.

What’s the weather like in Peru?
In Peruvian territory, up to 38 types of weather are feltaccording to the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service (Senamhi), this is due to the interaction between different climatic and geographical factors.
These main factors, details the Senamhi, are its geographical position on the Tropic of Capricorn and the proximity of the Andes mountain range.
Among the 38 climates, Senamhi highlights three main which are defined according to the area of the country in which they are located.
On the coast of the South American country, which meets the Pacific Ocean and covers barely 11.6% of the national territory, the weather prevailing there is arid and temperatebeing its main climatic characteristic the rarity of the rains.
In the sawthe area close to the Andes and which occupies 28.1% of Peruvian territory, the climate is rainy and cold mostly.
While in the junglewhere the tropical climate of Peru is most filled, occupying 60.3% of its surface, the weather is defined as very rainy and hot.
